A cubical container of side length 'L' is half filled with liquid of density ρ and placed on the floor of an elevator accelerating downward with acceleration 'g2'. Now the container is given a horizontal acceleration with respect to elevator parallel to one of the horizontal edges, and the acceleration is gradually increased in such a way that liquid in the container never start oscillation. Then, (P0= atmospheric pressure)

A bottle is kept on the ground as shown in the figure. The bottle can be modelled as having two cylindrical zones. The lower zone of the bottle has a cross-sectional radius of R2 and is filled with honey of density 2ρ. The upper zone of the bottle is filled with the water of density ρ and has a cross- sectional radius R. The height of the lower zone is H while that of the upper zone is 2H. If now the honey and the water parts are mixed together to form a homogeneous solutions: ( Assume that total volume does not change)
